Crimson Flare Pygmies are named after their small size and speed. They are fast and love to fly up and down in steep climbs and dives, giving the impression of a flare of color in the sky. These dragons travel in swarms during migration seasons and are very social. They live in tropical locations or wherever it is warm, and they are often seen near active volcanoes.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Pygmy dragons are the smallest category of dragons, being on the same scale as domesticated animals. They are often found around concentrated populations of dragons, relying on their larger brethren to ward away potential predators and leave scraps. As such, the majority of a pygmy’s diet is scavenged. Due to their tiny size, pygmies do not breed with larger varieties of dragons.

Like her sister, Wine is spirited, energetic, stubborn, independent, and filled to the brim with confidence, mostly in herself. Wine is a bit of a loner, usually avoiding others in place of raw exploration and adventure. Partners she does come across are usually left behind (as is the case with her sister, Shula.) That isn't to say she's cold toward others, far from it in fact. Wine is extremely friendly, though she can get pretty suspicious and nippy at those who prove to be untrustworthy to her. The only one Wine fully relies on is herself, she dare not put herself in jeopardy over another dragon (at least, that's how she sees it.) She usually doesn't let her own sense of solitude get to her, but it can be clear sometimes when her loneliness sets in. She tends to hide her other emotions, too, never letting it be revealed when she's upset, angry, or even just annoyed. You have to know her very well to pick up on these signals that she tries so hard to bury.
